HTML Canvas 2D Context is a W3C Recommendation

   19 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5161>

   The HTML Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of
   "HTML Canvas 2D Context." This specification defines the 2D
   Context for the HTML canvas element. The 2D Context provides
   objects, methods, and properties to draw and manipulate
   graphics on a canvas drawing surface.

W3C makes its data available through a Web API

   23 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5164>

   In response to demand from developers in our community wanting
   to interact with W3C’s data, we have developed an API. Through
   it we are making available public data on Specifications,
   Groups, Organizations and Users. We are providing a JSON format
   initially with alternate formats in the works and we will be
   expanding what information we expose over time. For more
   information please see the project page on Github.

Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module Draft Published

   19 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5151>

   The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group, in
   coordination with the Digital Publishing Interest Group, have
   published an updated Working Draft of "Digital Publishing
   WAI-ARIA Module 1.0." This specification extends WAI-ARIA 1.1
   to define an ontology of roles, states, and properties specific
   to digital publishing to allow authors to convey structural
   information to assistive technologies, and to enable semantic
   navigation, styling, and interactive features used by readers.

   <http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/>
   <http://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-dpub-aria-1.0-20151119/>
   <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria>

   This version includes new roles, changes the prefix for role
   names from “dpub” to “doc”, and refines the properties for
   roles previously defined. The document was previously published
   by the Protocols and Formats Working Group.

WAI-ARIA 1.1, Accessibility API Mappings, and WAI-ARIA Authoring
Practices updated Working Drafts

   19 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5148>

   The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has
   published Updated Working Drafts of:

   <http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/>
     * Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1
     * Core Accessibility API Mappings (Core-AAM) 1.1
     * Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API
       Mappings 1.1 (AccName-AAM)
     * SVG Accessibility API Mappings 1.0 (SVG-AAM)
     * WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1

   WAI-ARIA provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties
   that define accessible user interface elements. It is designed
   to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web
   content, particularly web applications. The Accessibility API
   Mappings describe how user agents should expose semantics of
   content languages to accessibility APIs across multiple content
   technologies, including languages incorporating WAI-ARIA as
   well as features specific to HTML and SVG. WAI-ARIA Authoring
   Practices recommends approaches to help web application
   developers make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible
   using WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties. These documents
   were previously published by the Protocols and Formats Working
   Group. SVG-AAM is jointly published with the SVG Working Group.

W3C DOM4 is a W3C Recommendation

   19 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5154>

   The HTML Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of
   "W3C DOM4." DOM defines a platform-neutral model for events
   and node trees. DOM4 adds Mutation Observers as a replacement
   for Mutation Events.

W3C Invites Implementations of XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0

   19 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5137>

   The XSLT Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate
   Recommendation of "XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0."
   This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT
   3.0, a language designed primarily for transforming XML
   documents into other XML documents. The primary purpose of the
   changes in this version of the language is to enable
   transformations to be performed in streaming mode, where
   neither the source document nor the result document is ever
   held in memory in its entirety. Another important aim is to
   improve the modularity of large stylesheets, allowing
   stylesheets to be developed from independently-developed
   components with a high level of software engineering
   robustness.

Call for Review: How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference

   18 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5135>

   A draft redesign of How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick
   reference to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
   requirements (success criteria) and techniques was published
   yesterday by the Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG)
   and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working
   Group (WCAG WG). It is intended to replace the current How to
   Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference. We welcome
   comments on the user interface and the filtering by 2 December,
   preferably via GitHub, or alternatively via e-mail to
   wai-eo-editors@w3.org. Read about the Web Accessibility
   Initiative (WAI).

Call for Review: CSV on the Web Proposed Recommendations

   17 November 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5125>

   The CSV on the Web Working Group has published a Proposed
   Recommendation for four documents:

   <https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/Main_Page>
     * Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web—an abstract
       model for tabular data, and how to locate metadata that
       enables users to better understand what the data holds;
       this specification also contains non-normative guidance on
       how to parse CSV files
     * Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Data—a JSON-based format
       for expressing metadata about tabular data to inform
       validation, conversion, display and data entry for tabular
       data
     * Generating JSON from Tabular Data on the Web—how to convert
       tabular data into JSON
     * Generating RDF from Tabular Data on the Web—how to convert
       tabular data into RDF

   Comments are welcome through 15 December.

Workshops

     * 2015-11-25 (25 NOV) – 2015-11-26 (26 NOV)
       Share-PSI Workshop: Maximising interoperability — core
       vocabularies, location-aware data and more
       <http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/berlin/>
       Berlin, Germany
       Hosted by Fraunhofer FOKUS
       The fifth and final workshop in the Share-PSI series will
       address the topic of maximising interoperability: core
       vocabularies, location-aware data and more. The workshop is
       explicitly interested in ideas, concepts and solutions that
       directly or indirectly address the interoperability of open
       data and PSI. As with all Share-PSI workshops, the aim is
       to identify best practices in these areas with a focus on
       Public Sector Information, although cultural heritage,
       commercial and scientific data are also relevant.
